Tips for Healthy Halloween Treats
If you plan to welcome little trick-or-treaters on the Halloween night, you will have to decide which treats to buy. Here is a few ideas on healthy (or at least healthier than traditional) treats:
- Boxed raisins – well-respected among parents, sweet and wholesome treat
- Bit-size crackers or low-sugar cookies packs (fishes or bears)
- Spreadable cheese and cracker packages
- Low-fat popcorn (you may want to create a spooky treat by packing popcorn in clear plastic gloves)
- Fruit leathers / bars
- Clementines
- Apples
- Pre-packaged carrots sticks
- Low-fat milkshakes or soy beverages in tetra-packs
- 100% juice boxes
- Small whole grain cereal boxes (make sure it’s nuts free!)
- Yogurt or dark chocolate covered raisins
Another idea is to give out something other than food, making it a perfect guilt-free treat for children and moms. Try these goodies:
- Halloween stickers
- tattoos
- pencils
- erasers
- little toys
Wishing You Happy and Safe Halloween!
